local SC = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.SC

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    if SC.Value >= 10 then
        script.Parent["STOP MULTI"].Disabled = false
        script.Parent.BeamFunction.Disabled = false
        script.Parent.Text = "Purchase Complete!"
        wait(0.5)
        script.Parent.Text = "EQUIP"
        SC.Value = SC.Value - 10
        script.Disabled = true
        else
    end
end)

(This all works btw) Even though I know entirely how to save leaderstats and tools ect. I am just completely clueless about saving GUI things and I can't find tutorials or help anywhere.

You don't want to use data stores for just anything. Only things like player stats that you want to keep next time they load back in. I just want to make sure that is what you meant by "GUI things". SteamG00B 1633 — 4y

but how do I save when somebody buys a one time purchase with in-game currency from my shop? Ethan674833 0 — 4y

So from what i've seen you want to save bool values, bool value is true/false i think you know, i recommend making a table with bools with each item if it was bought and then save the table and each time you join, you get the table content and done.

I have an idea how to do a table that saves but I cant seem to work out how to execute it, I was thinking that the table does something like {BeamsBought.Value,GunBought.Value,etc} and save that, but I have dont know where to store the variables. Ethan674833 0 — 4y
